Day Eight - Blog Post by Abbey Engle

Day 8- Abbey Engle

Today was day 2 of the safari. We started the day with an early morning game drive and were lucky enough to see a leopard ripping apart an impala in a tree. Jason was kind enough to play his Lion King soundtrack while we were driving through the next part of the park. After driving a while longer we found a herd of elephants that got a little too close for comfort, in Jason’s opinion. Our cars got stuck in the road behind elephants crossing, and suddenly some of them started fighting right in front of us. We went back to the chalet to eat breakfast and to take a quick break before going out again. Some stayed back from the second ride to watch WWE and have their own adventure. They missed out because as soon as we went back out we saw zebra right along the road. We then drove to the top of a mountain where we got to get out and look down into the valley. After taking some cool pictures we started to make our way back to the chalet to pick up the others. When we got back, Mrs. Steiner had to make a run for it because she was scared of the monkeys. Our first stop on the last safari trip of the day was the cheetah. We saw 4 laying down in the grass and got a decent view of them through the binoculars. We then ran into another group of about 30 elephants, and of course, Jason was in the middle of it again. We all had such a good day and saw so many cool animals, but seeing all of them makes me miss my dog. See ya soon! 😀
